“Platonic Crush” by Kelsey Henderson

“New York-based painter Kelsey Henderson has devoted her latest works to the theme of “platonic crush”. This is the idea of being immediately attracted to someone, without a primary focus on sexual attraction. They reflect encounters with people that you want to look at for a longer period of time, rather than just brushing past them in the street.

This is why Kelsey selected people she was attracted to in this way, they may not be “beautiful” to everyone, but certainly attractive through their uniqueness. They are raw and real beauties, which captivate the viewer’s attention.”
